Offensive Zone
The "Offensive Zone" in hockey refers to the area of the rink where a team is trying to score a goal. This zone is located between the opponent's blue line and the goal line. When a team has possession of the puck in this area, they can create scoring opportunities by passing, shooting, or setting up plays.
In the offensive zone, players often use strategies to outmaneuver defenders and find open spaces. Key elements include maintaining puck control, making quick passes, and positioning themselves effectively. Successful plays in the offensive zone can lead to goals, contributing to a team's overall performance in the game.
